Tectum Group Welt Award for inclusive HR policy
Written by

HR Business Partner

There is no single answer to the question of inclusion.

Inclusion cannot be captured in a single fixed approach. At Tectum Group , we therefore Tectum Group our HR policy into concrete actions based on talent, competencies, and sustainable careers. This approach was recently recognized with the Welt Award, an acknowledgment of our participation in Voka's Welt program and our commitment to an inclusive workplace.

Inclusion as part of sustainable HR policy

At Tectum Group , inclusion Tectum Group not a separate HR issue, but a fundamental part of our commitment to sustainable careers. The labor market is under pressure, technical profiles are scarce, and teams are becoming increasingly diverse. This calls for a broader view of talent, competencies, and development.

“We don’t want to pigeonhole people, but rather start from what they can do and where they can grow,” says Linde Kusters, HR Business Partner at Tectum Group. “For us, inclusion means removing barriers and creating opportunities so that everyone can reach their potential.”

The Welt program gave us the opportunity to further refine that vision and translate it into a concrete action plan. With intensive guidance from Voka and exchanges within learning networks, we gained new insights and practical tools.

From vision to concrete actions

An important lesson learned from this process is that inclusion only works when it is visible in everyday practice. That is why Tectum Group invests Tectum Group solutions that have a direct impact on the workplace.

For example, we use VR glasses to train workers in a safe and accessible way. Visual instructions make training understandable for everyone, regardless of language or prior knowledge.

“With VR training courses, we are not only breaking down language barriers, we are also increasing the safety and quality of our training courses,” says Linde Kusters. “It is a very concrete example of how technology can support inclusion.”

In addition, we are strongly committed to internal mobility. Employees are given opportunities to grow or reorient themselves within the group, so that talent is retained and people remain employable in the long term.

External collaboration also plays a role. Through partnerships with adult education and training initiatives, we train people who do not always enter through the traditional route, but who are motivated and capable of learning.

Flexibility and dialogue

Inclusion requires flexibility. Not every measure works for everyone, which is precisely why we consciously choose an approach that leaves room for nuance and dialogue.

“There is no standard solution for inclusion,” Linde emphasizes. “It is a continuous process of learning, adapting, and maintaining dialogue with employees.”

By focusing on competencies, engagement, and development potential, we are building a work environment where people feel seen and where workability is central.

A recognition, not an end point

On HR Day, Tectum Group was awarded the Welt Award Tectum Group Voka and named laureate for inclusive companies. This is a wonderful recognition of the journey we have made together with Voka and our employees.

For Tectum Group , this award Tectum Group not an end point, but confirmation that we are on the right track.

“This recognition motivates us to continue investing in inclusion,” concludes Linde Kusters. “Because we are convinced that strong organizations grow by putting people first.”

Because if one thing has become clear, it is this: there is no single answer to the question of inclusion, but with the right mindset and concrete actions, you can go a long way.
